Chapter 102 - Marriage (“Don’t be afraid, WanWan. I am here for you.”) (3)

“I just heard some someone said ‘demon blah blah blah’…” Xiao Yuan grumbled but did not pursue the subject. She merely said in a serious tone. “WanZhi-jie, I just got a call from Uncle.”

With a guilty conscience, Xu WanZhi quickly said, “Your uncle? If you need time off to take care of family business, take as much time as you need. Don’t worry about it. I’ll let Fang-jie know.”

“No, not myuncle.” Xiao Yuan was anxious. She raised her voice and said, “It’s yours. Your dad, Uncle!”

“My dad?” Xu WanZhi was a little bit stunned. She recalled the man who was listed in her blocked list, Xu Tian.

The one who tortured original owner’s mother to death and refused to pay for original owner’s tuition.

Xu WanZhi was alarmed all of a sudden. “Why did he call you? What did he say?”

“He said, his flight had landed this afternoon and he’s here. He also said that he called you but couldn’t get through so he asked me to schedule a time for the two of you to meet.”

“Why did he want to meet up with me out of the blue?” Xu WanZhi’s face dropped. How come she kept running into one awful thing after another today?

Xiao Yuan could tell from Xu WanZhi’s tone that she and her father didn’t get along. Her voice softened. “Well, I’m not sure. Probably some family matters?”

Xu WanZhi mulled over it a little and asked, “How did he get your cellphone number? Have you met him before?”

“No. He said he got it from Old Mr. Mu. Who’s Old Mr. Mu? Mr. Mu’s father?” said Xiao Yuan.

Old Mr. Mu? Mu XueLin?

Xu WanZhi was completely dumbfounded. Xu Tian and Mu XueLin should be two individuals who’d never cross path. How did the two of them touch base with each other? What was going on that she didn’t know about?

She couldn’t figure it out so she just told Xiao Yuan. “Block his number and ignore him.”

Xiao Yuan quickly acknowledged that.

At this moment, Xu WanZhi could hear noises from outside of the door. Mu ZhenYu had returned.

Xu WanZhi got out of bed and walked into the living room in her bare feet. She waited for him to loosen up his tie, changed into slippers, before she said to him, “Mr. Mu, my father took the afternoon flight over today.”

Mu ZhenYu didn’t seem too surprised when he heard that. “And?”

“He… seemed to have met up with your father,” said Xu WanZhi.

Mu ZhenYu stopped what he was doing and looked up at her. After a little while, he finally asked, “How did the two of them get together? What did they talk about?”

Xu WanZhi shook her head, “I don’t know either. I have a poor relationship with my father. He didn’t care that I am an actress and haven’t spoken to me in years. He popped up out of nowhere when I became Brand B’s spokesperson last time but I blocked his number.”

Looking at her frantic look, the corners of Mu XiYuan’s mouth rose up. Smiling, he teased her, “Perhaps our fathers got together to talk about our marriage.”

“Marriage?” Xu WanZhi’s voice became high-pitched. “You, you, you… you know our relationship is fake. You shouldn’t joke about something like that. What marriage? Preposterous.”

Mu ZhenYu chuckled and dropped the subject. He walked over to her slowly, put his hands over her shoulder and said, “Don’t worry, WanWan. I’m here for you.”

Xu WanZhi wanted to clarify some more but his one simple sentence had calmed her.

A few days later, “Blossoming Us” part 1, with only 20 episodes, would be airing its final episode.

Xu WanZhi received a call from Old Madam Mu and insisted that she must join them at their place for the last episode as that would only be the right thing to do. Xu WanZhi felt that she couldn’t turn her down so she agreed to it.

The night of the final episode, she went over to the Mu’s with Mu ZhenYu. As soon as the two of the walked inside of the house, they saw Mu XueLin sitting on the couch. He waved and greeted her and, on his side, sat original owner’s wonderful father Xu Tian. The two “buddies” were drinking together and seemingly enjoying each other’s company.

Xu WanZhi exchanged a look with Mu ZhenYu and had a bad feeling.

Seeing the worried look on Xu WanZhi, Old Madam Mu felt that she needed to chime in to break the silence. “It was me who took the liberty to invite Mr. Xu over. His daughter is so successfully and the show that you are in is so good. And it was also about his generation. So I thought I’d invite him over to join us in the viewing.”

Having said that, Old Madam Mu looked up at Mu ZhenYu. “And while we are at it, we can also talk about your marriage.”

“What?” Xu WanZhi’s eyes almost popped out of her socket.

Oh my gosh, Mu ZhenYu. What awful luck that he had called it.
